Our Mission

Widows Cause International officially started October 2013 with the vision to restore the voice of the widow. Widows are one of the largest humanitarian issues of our time and far too often go unheard in their pleas. Not only do many struggle with societal resources dealing with issues like Social Security, medical care, taxes, bills, etc., but they also find themselves with lack of spiritual healing from God due to lack of widows focused ministry. WCI is an official 501c3 who aims to help widows overcome the world's hurdles as well as heal completely in God turning plight into progress. WCI
